Cake Hope & Love Launches Community Cake Co-op

By

Cake Hope & Love believes everyone deserves something sweet—especially during tough times.
Owner Shannon Teague shared,  “the government shutdown affecting so many of our neighbors, we want to help bring a little comfort and joy where it’s needed most. So they are  launching a Community Cake Co-op, a way for our customers to pay kindness forward.”
Here’s how it works:
You can donate any amount—$10, $20, $50, or more—and they’ll use 100% of those funds to bake and gift cakes to families and individuals affected by the shutdown. No strings. No spotlight. Just a genuine gesture of care from one neighbor to another.
They’ll handle the baking and throw in a extra dozen of cupcakes! You just help us fill the world with a little more love (and frosting).
Because sometimes, a slice of cake is more than just dessert, it’s hope. 💛
If you’re needed a cake for a special occasion- you can make a request on line here.

Local Baker Giving Away Free Cupcakes For A Year!

By

In the sweetest promotion we’ve heard about in quite a while, Cake, Hope and Love has just announced a contest that will give one lucky winner a years worth of cupcakes.  Announced today via Facebook Live, bakery owners Shannon & Mike Teague are challenging Cake Nation to take pictures of themselves all around the region with their new Cake Dealer bumper stickers.

To get one just stop by Cake, Hope and Love, buy a regular priced cupcake and ask for your free CAKEDEALER bumper sticker by next Friday, July 27th.  Then take your sticker to your favorite place in Dayton, and take a selfie with the bumper sticker.   Next post your selfie to facebook or Instagram or both, and be sure to tag your location and  #CHLTakesDayton.

For each picture you post, you get one entry. More pictures- more chances to win!  You’ll also earn bonus points if the bumper sticker is on your car (it doesn’t have to be) and if Shannon sees your car out and about with the sticker on it, she’ll post a picture and if you call and identify it- you’ll win a free celebration cake.

Pictures must be posted by the first weekend of August, at which point a winner will be announced.  The owners will select the winner and you’ll get a dozen cupcakes every month for a year, as well as one six inch celebration cake of your choice.  And stay tuned to CH & L’s social media, as you never know when they might add more chances to win.

Next week the bakery counter will be filled with all kinds of special treats for one of Shannon’s favorite holidays:  Shark ? week!

Changing the World, One Cupcake at a Time!

By Leave a Comment

If you are looking for a charitable bakery with a comfy-cozy environment and owners who will make your friends and family feel right at home, look no further than Cake, Hope, and Love in Beavercreek.

Four years ago, Shannon Teague began baking goods in her kitchen and selling them to friends and family. “Once I couldn’t see the dining room table anymore, it was like, we need to move somewhere else,” said Shannon.

Now, merely six months after hatching the idea of opening a bakery, Shannon co-owns Cake, Hope, and Love with her best friend, Connie McFarren. 

Cake, Hope, and Love is located at 1490 North Fairfield Road. The shop is open from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Friday, and 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Saturday. “We worship on Sundays, and we have Mondays for our families,” said Teague.

The bakery sells a variety of cupcakes that range from chocolate and vanilla to raspberry red velvet and cinnamon hot chocolate. They have approximately forty combinations of cupcakes that they sell for $1.25 each, and gourmet cupcakes which sell for $2.75.

“[The gourmet cupcakes] are like a little party in a cupcake,” said Teague.

One thing that sets the bakery apart is their custom cakes. Unlike most bakeries, Cake, Hope, and Love has no sheet cakes or premade cakes available – all cakes are custom made to order and must be ordered up to two weeks in advance.

The owners also enjoy creating custom flavors for special events, such as a butterbeer-flavored cupcake they made for the Harry Potter movie premiere this past summer.

There are a few other things that make Cake, Hope, and Love different than most bakeries, the first of which is their love for philanthropy work. “We’re just social media geeks that like philanthropy,” said Teague.

Cake, Hope, and Love supports a different philanthropy each month. The philanthropy receives 20 percent of all proceeds made during that month.  They  support both local and national philanthropies. In the past, they have worked with the Hope Foundation of Greater Dayton and A Kid Again, which raises money for terminally ill children in Central Ohio.

On a broader scale, the bakery is currently working with the No Kid Hungry project. From September 18-24th, Cake, Hope, and Love will donate a portion of their proceeds to help end childhood hunger in America. To learn more about this charity and other ways you can help, visit www.nokidhungry.org.

Cake, Hope, and Love is also preparing to take part in the Walk Now! For Autism Speaks event that is happening in Columbus on October 9th. “[Autism Speaks] is very near and dear,” said Teague, who has a son with autism.

The employees of Cake, Hope, and Love will be walking for Autism Speaks and are asking their customers to join or sponsor them. They will also be selling an Autism Speaks cupcake at their store for $2.00 and will donate $1.50 per cupcake to Autism Speaks. T-shirts will be available for $15 and will say, “Cake Nation – Changing the World One Cupcake at a Time.” All proceeds from the t-shirts will go towards the walk. For more information on how to join or donate to Cake Nation, visit www.walknowforautismspeaks.org.

Stop in and enjoy their comfy lounge area, along with a tasty treat and a chat with the owners, all while supporting a good cause.
